I think Biden's got a good shot at it.

In addition to trying to buy votes, Biden will try to create the impression that the economy's doing really well. He did that in the SOTU. I posted months ago where I said that claiming the economy's good would be one of the key big lies by/for Biden. I also said it wasn't clear to me that Trump knew how to formulate a strategy to destroy that lie or any of Biden's other lies. Trump's idea of strategy is holding lots of rallies and messages on Truth Social as far as I can tell. Somebody actually tried to argue with me that there is no possible strategy to deal with Biden's lies and holding rallies is all he can do.

Trump might take it for granted that everyone knows the economy is bad and won't see a need to put together a very detailed response, which would be remarkably incompetent. If he does that he would be repeating one of Romney's key mistakes in 2012. He thought most voters were dissatisfied enough with Obama's performance that he could win by just presenting himself as a competent alternative. He didn't try to drive home that the economy wasn't good. Nor did he ever at any point mention any of the problems with Obamacare. Obama and the media got people feeling better about the economy and people forgot about Obamacare. It would be ironic if Trump lost by repeating Romney's mistakes, since he and Romney are seen as representing polar opposites in campaign styles.

He's hired the best minds in the business for it.

I am not sure how the author can get the taste of Biden out of his mouth, but despite this screed, the Bidens aren’t that bright. With what the Democrats worked so hard to contrive in Ukraine, the best the Biden crime family could come up with was to get Hunter on the board of Burisma.

Biden is a two-bit hood who is in government because he was too stupid to make it in a union.

Let me see...81 million votes at a generous $10,000 per vote, that’s less than a trillion dollars! I’m sure that can be squeezed into the annual budget.

No. For Biden to win again you would have to create the national and global chaos of 2020 again. Not going to happen. They truly believed President Trump would retreat. Instead, as we knew he would be, he was emboldened.

Now the Deep State, if they were to continue the puppet-state installment, faces a 'Kamala-inherits-the-throne' scenario before the mid-terms, because Biden will have a 25A moment within the next 2 years, hopefully this year.

Kamala as puppette would swing the House wildly to the GOP, and ensure zero chance of Amnesty before 2030, at the earliest.

The Deep State must. have. Amnesty. and must have. it. soon. They financed massive multi-family construction over the past 2 1/2 years while simultaneously stepping on the throat of single-home construction. Either they fill those or collapse both the Commercial and Residential real estate markets.

They want to permanently muttlerize metropolitan areas over 500,000 so they will never vote red again. Control of the cities Soros-style eventually leads to control of the states, control of the states eventually leads to a permanent Democrat trifecta.

So, the Deep State is going to gamble on TrumpII, make Youngkin VP, maybe a thin House and Senate majority for the first 2 years, and play upon his legacy needs. Not a Gang of Eight-style bill but a 'bipartisan' slippery-slope bill that they figure Youngkin or Gruesome will transform into full-fledged citizenship at the turn of the decade.

That part of the puzzle will play out entirely differently, of course, but I tell you right now President Trump will be re-elected in November. I've lived long enough to see how this sick game works, and this is how it is going to work. My hope is that Trump gets back and pulls out a scimitar and never looks back.

"At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn."

Once he promises millions in reparation to each one of the slo folks, he’ll be working on a triple landslide.

He doesn’t have to buy their votes, just make proposals to put cash in their pockets that the mean, old Republicans will block.

Then, of course, FJB can blame those same mean, old Republicans for not letting him put cash in their pockets - with the help of the MSM, of course . . .

They will be bought for him by the “machine” if the “machine “ lets him run. If not they will just buy them for the other guy.

Elect will not fix what is broken. Only a true insurrection will do that. Not that I condone one /s.
